Note: The tip or note must be entered between the double vertical bar and lesser-than signs.

​

7. Enter your answer by replacing the 100 +-5 text with your own answer. e.g. = 3.14

Note: The answer must be added after the equal sign.

​

8. Optionally, you can add a ranged answer by adding +- and a number or percentage after the answer. For example:

• +- 0.1 means the answer can be correct for 0.1 above or below the answer.

• +- 2% means the answer can be correct for 2% above or below the answer.

9. Alternatively, you can provide a series of answers so students can enter one of multiple different answers and be correct e.g. = [3.14, 3.15]

Note: The answer ranges must be entered after the equal sign and the different answer options must be between square brackets.
